Baptism

Baptism In preparing for the sacrament of Baptism, parents should notify the church office at 828-7050.

If the parents have not attended Pre-Baptismal Class with Fr. Jake then one is scheduled prior to the Baptism. Only one class is required and no additional classes are needed for additional baptisms in the family.

Information needed for Baptism will include: Father’s name, Mother’s maiden name, child’s city of birth, birth date, and two Godparent names, (one of the two must be of active Catholic practice).

Date of baptism will be agreed upon with parents and Fr. Jake. Arrangements will be provided through the church office for reserved seating and presentation of the KC rose to the family.

Please note: no baptisms are scheduled during Advent or Lent, unless an emergency baptism is needed.
